With retelling the episodes, developer Travellers Tales have leaned even harder into goofy jokes, references, and all-around fun with these stories. If you played the previous Lego Star Wars games, don’t expect reused cutscenes or even the same levels you’ve played previously. For those who want to collect and perform as many side missions as they can along the way, I recommend starting with The Force Awakens as it unlocks some required abilities to get to inaccessible blocks.

You can start from the first episode of each trilogy the prequels, the original trilogy or the sequels.

This Lego Star Wars game focuses on the nine movies/Episodes now considered the Skywalker Saga. The Skywalker Saga is the biggest shake-up for a Lego Star Wars game, including a new engine and open-world areas to roam around in. After nearly 20 years of Lego Star Wars games, there have been changes, but never straying too far from the traditional structure. The first Lego Star Wars game came out in 2005, allowing us to play through the prequel trilogy. I was curious how the Switch version would run from the day it was announced, given how much they were squeezing into this game. After several delays and, unfortunately, a lot of ‘crunch’, the game is available across all the consoles, most notably for us on the Nintendo Switch.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is finally out to span the whole main Star Wars series, remaking the previous episodes covered and completing the sequel trilogy. The last time a Lego Star Wars game graced the consoles was around the time of Episode VII: The Force Awakens and a lot has happened in that time.
